Keep On! Creative
Vancouver, BC

I have two approaches when it comes to my work. Under my “Visualize” brand, I apply my tagline “empathy through experience” to create an art book which I hand-printed and bound. It’s experiential to help the audience understand the lived experience with ADHD. To reinforce these ideas I put augmented reality within... my books to add another level of dimension. One of the projects this series has facilitated is a workshop where we put together a zine that showed a collective image of ADHD. I also have my “Shroomies” series. It’s centered around Timothee Toadstool and his friends. Each one sees the world differently, allowing the zines and illustrations to have unique voice while exploring themes of mental health, community and friendship. Both series are printed on Risograph as it lends itself to Visualize in that emphasizes ADHD aspects. For Shroomies it allows me to callback to a retro Saturday morning cartoon vibe and that’s look I’m going for. I printed most of this work myself which has given me a strong understanding of what goes into publication design.More ↓

At Risolana, we move to cultivate a vibrant community of artists, activists, and storytellers connected to New Mexico. We see power in printmaking as a tool for community dialogue where personal and collective expression meet. At Risolana we prioritize our community by teaching the process and uses of the risograph over simply providing printing services and... in doing so, aim to cultivate an artmaking space as accessible as the risograph itself. We believe in the transformative power of the artistic process and art product to unite and strengthen our community. Through our annual artist-in-residence book program we support one artist a year to explore and reflect on themes of community, dialogue, and identity. The residency provides artists with hands-on support for learning how to use the risograph machine to inform their book as well as design, creative, and logistical support when considering a book as an art form. The residency culminates with a final exhibition as well as a free risograph community workshop led by the artist-in-residence. After three years of experimenting with the risograph machine and engaging in community projects, we've discovered that bookmaking harnesses the true strength of the riso machine through economies of scale. We're actively encouraging more individuals to explore bookmaking and providing affordable consultations for those eager to embark on a book project. Through these consultations, we have observed a shift in perspectives, prompting individuals to reconsider the potential of what a book looks like and what a book can achieve. At Risolana, we believe 'Books Move.'More ↓
